We take great pride in our four amazing gardens, which are paid for by annual plot fees and built and maintained using volunteer labor.

Each garden has a number of Donation Plots, which are cared for and maintained by volunteer gardeners. The harvests from these plots are donated weekly to Healing Abuse Working for Change (HAWC) located in Salem.

Any questions regarding our donation program should be directed to Cindy Rhodes.
